Answer:

[tex]0.236[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cats in a local cat show is 250

Of these, 73 are orange, 11 are white, 80 are black, 27 are calico, 50 are gray, and 9 are tuxedo.

The probability of a

randomly selected cat from the show will be gray or tuxedo is

[tex] = \frac{50}{250} + \frac{9}{250} [/tex]

We simplify to get:

[tex] = \frac{50 + 9}{250} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{59}{250} [/tex]

[tex] = 0.236[/tex]
